My sis couldn&#8217;t make it and needed her car for work as she missed her carpool! Sucks not to have my own car! (First world problem). Still, I was resourceful \ud83d\ude09 and made a last-minute rental car reservation, i.e., 15 minutes before picking it up at Budget Rent-a-Car, and got to church just in time! w00t. The price for one-day rental wasn&#8217;t too bad (cheaper than a cab ride) AND the car assigned to me wasn&#8217;t too shabby either (has Bluetooth, USB, and it&#8217;s got a cute gold\/metallic yellow colour. I named him Sonny :P) But I digress&#8230; After mass, Herman&#8217;s big sis, mum, and the rest of us went to Goldilocks for a Filipino breakfast buffet. LOL. We had been sustained spiritually, so naturally, it was time for some nom nom nom! I was tempted to eat the <em>tapa<\/em>, <em>tocino<\/em>, and <em>longanisa<\/em>, but stuck by my abstention from meats and selected all the available fish dishes. Hehehe. I felt kinda bad, though, since Tita Lucy had paid for everyone&#8217;s breakfast (and dessert to-go!) Ahhhh. Thanks Tita!<\/p>\n<p>When we were all fed and content, the ones that didn&#8217;t need to rush back to work went to the cemetery and said &#8220;Hello!&#8221; to Herman&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3798\" src=\"http:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2013\/03\/030113_HCA.jpg\" alt=\"March 1st 2013\" width=\"2448\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2013\/03\/030113_HCA.jpg 2448w, https:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2013\/03\/030113_HCA-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2013\/03\/030113_HCA-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2013\/03\/030113_HCA-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2448px) 100vw, 2448px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Miss you bro!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already been two years since Herman&#8217;s passing.
